Best Airports in the World

eDreams, one of Europe’s largest online travel agencies, announces Dubai International Airport (DXB) as the best airport in 2010 based on feedback and reviews from 30,000 customers. eDreams compared feedback across several categories and Dubai Airport was rated 4.75 out of a possible 5 points overall. The San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and the Fuhlsbüttel (HAM) Airport in Hamburg earned the titles of second and third best airports.

“The Dubai Airport won by a large margin,” said eDreams Chief Marketing Officer, Mauricio Prieto. “Many customers commented favorably about the design of the building. They appreciated its modern design concept, functional spaces, and the fact that designers accounted for the real needs of travelers in the new millennium.”

Other categories for best airport rankings in 2010 include shopping and restaurant options, lounge areas, Customs control, and airport-to-city transportation options including the metro, buses, cars, taxis, and trains. Winners in each category can be found at eDreams.com.

I always find these sort of lists fascinating. I never understand how you can compare small airports with huge international hubs. Small airports are superb for ease of use. You can usually park right outside the terminal and its only a few steps to the plane which is absolutely perfect. However, they are very restricted with the routes they offer.

I do not understand how SFO got on this list. Having been to over 30 different airports, I can say SFO is one of the most cramped, confusing, poorly organized complexes I’ve ever passed through. Flying into SFO several times has always been a horrible experience.
In the US. I would say that BWI in Maryland was probably the easiest airport I’ve ever used.
